Everybody I work with got a free iPod Mini. A LARGE percentage (it's
been a while, so I can't count, exactly) had problems getting iTunes
to work with windows and even more complained about options randomly
disabling and then coming back after a re-boot.

Checking the headers to make sure I'm on the right list... Yep, it's
PLUG. Windows must be a LOT better than Mac or
Lnux if quality/satisfaction==market share.
And I only meant iTunes. AFAICT, it's pretty crappy Windows app.

You got me there. If no other player lets you get your music off the
player, that's not a strike against an iPod.
The other thing that I hope will REALLY make me like my iPod is when
linux runs on the iPods you can buy new now. It looks like its
getting close, so if it does get finished, iPods would totally rule.
